New Anno 117 details. Trailer suggests that Ubisoft may return to land battles
A new trailer for Anno 117 has hit the web. The developers showed off the modular design of naval ships, and gameplay fragments suggest that the series may return to land-based battles.
Anno 117: Pax Romana promises to be one of the most important economic strategies of this year. People waiting for this title should be interested in the new video material provided by the developers.
The video highlights the fundamental concepts of the game and features many gameplay segments. Of course, it was recorded based on an early version of the production, but the material still gives a good idea of what the gameplay in Anno 117 will look like.
In the video, it's worth paying particular attention to one element. At some point, Roman legionnaires appear. If the game focused solely on the economy, we probably wouldn't see them in this material.
This suggests that land battles, which haven't been seen in this series for a long time, will make a comeback in Anno 117: Pax Romana. Another element of the material that supports such speculations is the mention of walls that can be destroyed. The last installment of the series, which allowed for land battles, was Anno 1404, released in 2009.
The modular design of sea vessels featured in the video looks promising, enabling flexible configuration and customization to meet individual needs. For instance, it will be possible to dedicate part of the space for cargo and install additional rowing stations there, or build archer towers on the deck.
Anno 117: Pax Romana is heading to PC, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PlayStation 5. The launch is set to take place this year.
